K9s for Warriors
Phone: 904-686-1956
K9s For Warriors is the nation’s largest provider of trained service dogs for Veterans with
PTSD, traumatic brain injury or military sexual trauma, and hopes to reduce the number of
Veterans who commit suicide. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and with our generous
community of supporters, K9s For Warriors matches our Warriors with a Service Dog and
hosts the pair at one of our campuses for a 21-day program at no cost to the Warrior. This
program includes on campus and off-site training, bonding time in our welcoming housing,
and useful classes, and it prepares the pair to pass a public access test, earning ADI certifi-
cation that the dog is the handler’s Service Dog. Although a certification is not required by
the U.S. laws and regulations which protect a person’s right to be accompanied by a Service
Dog, ADI’s certification is a nationally recognized indication that a dog has been individually
trained, by a quality organization, to perform specific tasks to aid a handler with a disability
in accordance with the ADA, and it can be helpful.
